There have been two decisions in favor of recording police. One was a federal district court and the other a Cook County circuit court. Neither ruling is binding on other courts. I hope the state appeals as it would speed up a resolution.

Gotcha. Thanks for the information. Thats what I thought was the case, but I wanted to make sure.

Be careful though, because some parts of Illinois it's going to take a while for the local constabulary to take a hint, expect more lawsuits and incidents before this blows over. not saying it's right. but some people just can't do their homework properly.

they love our milk and honey, but they preach about some other way of living, when they're running down my country man they're walkin' on the fightin side of me

Of that I have little doubt!
It's like the "container carry" we have here in Illinois. It's even posted on the State Police website and was decided in "Illinois vs. Diggins" in 2009 but this doesn't mean that one of these hyped up hotheads will have been "trained" in that information, any more than they will have been trained in the injuction against enforcement of the eavesdropping law.
